Over the River - Emperors Wharf

This is a lovely flat and the views look exactly as pictured. Very relaxing watching the boats on the river. A bit of noise on the weekends but just a bit and not too late. Everything in the flat operated properly (which unfortunately you can never count on with these types of holiday rentals), It was nice to have a few toys in the flat also. That being said, there were a few areas that could be improved. First, the flat looks clean at first sight, but when you look under the sofa, in the corners, or around the windows, not so much. Second, the main bed could do with replacement. It was soft and lumpy to me. The pillows also need replacing. They are flat and sad. Third, the master bedroom needs blackout curtains. Come on, this is the north of England and it starts to get light at 4:00 am. Fourth, communication with Stays York was difficult. They apparently don’t check their email very often. Emails go unanswered or answered very tardily. It is unclear who you are supposed to email because there was more than one person communicating with me. They apparently don’t share their emails with each other. I lived in fear I would lose the one set of keys they allowed (another complaint BTW) because I didn’t know how long it would take to reach them (I didn’t lose them thankfully). I should clarify that I stayed here over two weeks. If it had only been a weekend none of this would have mattered as much. I would still recommend the property.

So fortunate to have been able to stay in ‘Over the River’ - it was the most beautiful apartment only topped by the amazing views. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Easy access into York. did I mention the amazing views from the balcony? They were outstanding. Would be more than happy to stay there again

We loved this apartment. The location was great! We could walk anywhere in the old part of the city with no problem. It was so fun to watch the traffic on the river. We loved to sit out on the balcony. The kitchen was well-equipped and we made good use of the washer. There were many good restaurants within easy walking distance. An excellent base for exploring York. The apartment looks just like the pictures. Brian welcomed us nicely and gave many good suggestions of places to go and places to eat. Thank you for the welcome packet. It came in handy. Thanks for such a nice stay!

We arrived and was welcomed with a great reception showed us the flat Give us a lovely welcome pack too The location was fantastic view from the windows and balcony was the best great watching the boats going passed Would recommend but was a bit pricey

We have just returned from a wonderful week in this excellent accommodation. It isn't an overlarge property but is totally 5* in quality.It isn't just about the rooms, but who can complain about 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms with a decent size lounge and kitchen.It is the quantity of equipment provided for use.There was nothing we were short of and didn't need to keep washing up to be able to eat a meal.The cupboards were full of crockery and cutlery and everything to be able to self cater that you could want. It felt lovely and homely and is in a very safe block with wonderful views of York.You felt included in the activity of york without leaving the property, but also very private and quiet.The added use of a balcony was lovely. I understand other comments about the parking space, it is tight.But there are a lot of other properties that don't give you an option of parking.

Great flat. Well equipped and very clean. View down the river is fantastic. You could never get bored with it. However returning keys to Stays York office in town is a pain. We had to pay £4 to relocate the car before walking back into town to had in keys. Also the meet and greet service was virtually non existent. The woman told us to park in the wrong car park and then left. No instructions as to how to find the flat or how to use the heating for example. Poor even in these Covid times.

Apartment in excellent location. Fantastic stay. Awesome views. Everything within walking distance. Will definitely be back.

I had a wonderful stay at Over the River - Emperors Wharf. It is not the biggest apartment, but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is approx 10 minutes walk into the centre of York and close to lots of bars and shops. I was lucky to have excellent weather so spent many hours on the balcony, watching the world go by. I would definitely stay again.

This is a lovely property that exceeded my expectations. Ideally positioned with its own parking space and within walking distance of all the attractions of York whilst providing a tranquil retreat. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need, even managed to cook a full Sunday dinner. The balcony is well positioned and a lovely place to watch the comings and goings on the river. Parking space is tight but was good to have. First time staying in this property and will definitely return.

Great apartment, situated on the river, everything in walking distance, would return. The location was ideal, everything within walking distance. The apartment was clean and welcome treats were special, everything that we needed and more. The views are lovely and you can sit and watch the world go by.

This is our 3rd stay at this beautiful apartment and it won’t be our last. The location is perfect and the view from the balcony is fantastic. Can’t wait for our next visit.

The views of the river were just stunning from the huge picture windows on three sides of the lounge and two balcony’s. The flat was spotless, as were the public areas and lift. It was very useful to be able to take the lift from the gated car parking area too. Lovely light and airy rooms with views from every window. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. Both bathrooms were clean with lovely towels. Really well located for the city centre but fairly quiet as it is on the quieter side of the river. Absolutely loved staying there and would recommend highly. Stays York we’re so easy to deal with and having a local office is a huge bonus.

Will be back! The apartment was in an excellent location and the views could not be beaten. So relaxing sitting on the balcony watching the world go by and also watching the ducks parade across the water! Excellent facilities and everything there that you need. Can 100% recommend.

Great apartment, immaculately clean and had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. The view from the small balcony was great and we particularly enjoyed having breakfast while watching life on the river. The location of the apartment was ideal with all the amenities and sights of York within very easy access. We really enjoyed our stay in the small(ish) but perfectly formed apartment. Would happily stay there again and have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends.

Enjoyable, comfortable, terrific views over the river, super location to walk to York attractions
Everything really, we had stayed in other apartments in this development previously and have to say this is probably the best. Well cleaned and we felt very Covid safe. We would happily rebook this terrific apartment.

Great location, within easy walk to the whole of York. Watching the life on the river is a holiday all on its own. Secure parking is a must when visiting York.
